During the strategic marketing management process, there are many external forces that any company must be aware of in order to be profitable.

In 2010, the Pepsi Refresh Project will give away more than $20 million to people with similar ideas. Each month, Pepsi will accept up to 1,000 new ideas every month and will award up to $1.3 million in grants to the ideas who have
